Pros

Most of the people at lower levels are amazing and trying their best every day to keep up with the continuous leadership changes.

Cons

Leadership doesn't care about talent and growing their leaders from the inside of the company. They keep hiring not qualified director+ people and there are no more engineers left to do any job. They were all pushed out, directly with layoffs, or indirectly with blocked promotions, boycotted projects, and layers and layers of doing-nothing managers.

Pros

Absolutely nothing- couldn’t recommend not working for a company more than here.

Cons

overall the experience was very inconsistent and frustrating. Management tends to pick favorites, and policy enforcement is selective rather than fair. Some employees are held strictly accountable while others receive warnings for similar situations, which creates a lack of trust in leadership and contributes to high turnover and loss of strong performers. HR decisions can feel abrupt and, in some cases, extreme, including situations where serious accusations were made without proper verification or follow-up. There is also no sick pay, and attendance is tracked through a strict points system that feels punitive and unclear, with termination happening once a threshold is reached. Overall leadership often lacks alignment, and agents are frequently blamed when issues are escalated. Even long tenure is treated as unusual rather than standard, which says a lot about the culture.
